What called your attention at the NAMM?

Post by Mr_-G- »

Did anybody go to the NAMM? If so I am curious about what was the gear that impressed you most?

So far the few videos I stuff I liked or found interesting were:
Nord A1 (what I heard sounds very good)
Roland FA-06 (Integra sounds [at least some of them], a keyboard and sequencer at less than the Integra price?)
Korg MS-20 Kit (!!?) but seems overpriced, and I imagine there is a finite risk of damaging while building it up...
The "discrete" Moog theremin... I tried playing the old one, very difficult to play anything other than old sci-fi movie effects :) Maybe with the pitch quantisation one can do more. Funny looking (not the funny ha-ha BTW).
A forthcoming OS uplift the Privia PX-5S? Did I understand correctly stacking 14 sounds??? I thought that was 6.

The most ridiculous controller has to be this one:

At $190 is there a market for that?

The Theremini looks great — I love how you can set the scale-forcing, and use the Animoog engine. This might be one for me in a little while…

The MS-20 kit is a collector's item (only 1000 to be made), and it is priced just slightly above where the vintage MS-20s are now that the market collapsed with the release of the mini.

The new Elektron analog RYTM looks really awesome. Awful name, though.

I'm a little disappointed that nothing was heard of the Roland AIRA.

The only things I might be tempted eventually to get (but not all at the same time) are:
Ditto X2 Looper Pedal
Moog Sub 37
Casio Priva PX-5S with the new voices update
Korg RK-100S OR Alesis Vortex wireless (in Black)

I would like to eventually get a keytar. The Korg is more expensive, but looks more expressive and has a microkorg XL+ built in (even has the vocoder).

Liked the look of the Focusrite iDock. Not badly priced at £170.

The Casio PX5S seems to offer incredible value for money indeed. The demos sound just great.

The Leslie Studio 12 was announced at last year's NAMM and there still are no consumer reviews online. What's the deal?
